I`m surprised that his followers didn`t blame a Zionist conspiracy, you know, like the Mosad blew up the World Trade Center.
The problem with this whole affair is, like Mr. Pipes writes in the last paragraph of the article, by Muslims or sympathizers constantly complaining about racism and "persecution" of Muslims in this country, the authorities may tend to bend over backwards not to appear as such, and therefore may not follow-up tips about terrorism.
